BTW, how does one get the vouchers that the machines always present one with? What am I missing here?

If you put the Continente App in your phone they also show up there . Normally 2 a month with extra discounts on total shop and/ or specific product lines.

Re: Supermarket Loyalty Cards
Did you scan your card in the machine first? These are usually in the entrance area. I think they are red with a screen. Not very big and in some of the bigger stores could be easy to miss. Stick the card in, choices will appear on the screen. We usually press them all and use what applies. or just give them to the cashier and let her do the work. We generally get €5 discount every shop, and also some quite large discounts every once in a while.
